Nomination closing SOP

This document outlines the procedure for closing the post-release election cycle. This covers two parallel activities: . Finalizing questions to use in interviews . Closing the nomination period

Timing/trigger

This process happens two weeks after the elections are opened.

Procedure

  • If the number of candidates is greater than or equal to the number of open seats, set the nomination wiki pages to protected. Otherwise, extend the nomination deadline for that election only by one week. Repeat until the number of candidates is greater than or equal to the number of open seats.

  • Edit the election banner template in the wiki to update the dates and current status

  • Comment on the Council, FESCo, and Mindshare Committee tickets with the final questions that will be used.

  • Update the templates/* files in the repo (ssh://[email protected]/tickets/fedora-pgm/elections-interviews.git) with the questions

  • Email all candidates to inform them to submit their interviews

    • Interviews are submitted to the elections-interviews repo

    • Candidates who do not submit an interview by the deadline will not be on the ballot

  • If the Community Blog post announcing nominations is set to "sticky", un-sticky it.

As a service to candidates, send regular reminders to anyone who has not yet submitted their interviews.
